Burn Hazard
CAUTION: BURNRISK
The charging station and the charging contacts on both the docking target, and
the AMR can get hot during the operation. The operator must allow for cool
down prior to servicing.
CAUTION: BURNRISK
The AMR drive wheel motors can get extremely hot during the operation. The
operator must allow the drive wheel motors to cool down prior to performing
any maintenance work near or around them.
Qualification of Personnel
It is the end-user’s responsibility to ensure that all personnel who will work with or around
AMRs have attended an appropriate training, and have a working knowledge of the system.
The user must provide the necessary additional training for all personnel who will be working
with the system.
As described in this guide, and the Mobile Robot HDSafety Manual (Cat. No. I647), you should
allow only skilled persons or instructed persons to do certain procedures:
l
Skilled persons have technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable them to
avoid either electrical or mechanical dangers.
l
Instructed persons are adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons to enable
them to avoid either electrical or mechanical dangers.
For example, replacing a battery is a task for a skilled person, while an instructed person can
complete the task of charging a battery.
All personnel must observe industry-prescribed safety practices during the installation, oper-
ation, and testing of all electrically-powered equipment.
IMPORTANT: Before working with the AMR, every person must confirm that
they:
l
Have the necessary qualifications and training.
l
Have received the guides (both this user’s guide, and the Mobile Robot HDSafety
Manual (Cat. No. I647)).
l
Have read the guides.
l
Understand the guides.
l
Will work in the manner specified by the guides.
Payload Movement and Transfer
A typical AMR application uses a payload structure to transport objects within a facility. For
example, the AMR might pick up and carry a crate of engine parts from one conveyor belt
then deliver it to another conveyor belt.
